@DsheroX Yeah, I'm excited for the day I find one worth buying. It's even worse that I've purchased 2 Switch 2's, one for me and one for my wife. Now to be fair I still love my Switch 2 for playing Switch 1 games on a bigger screen and running better so that part has been worth it. I love DK, but the new game didn't appeal to me at all as I don't like flashy stuff in my games as I think it detracts from the game... Ie.. blinding you from what's actually on the screen. I have CP on a couple of other platforms so I didn't pick it up here and RF, I just wasn't looking for. Probably a good game, but that series hadn't hooked me. Anyway, good luck to us both for future games, I think we are going to need it.
@DsheroX Same here, I have a shelf of Switch 1 games that is roughly 12 feet long, I can fit my physical switch 2 collection in exactly zero feet long, because up to this point I don't own a single Switch 2 game beyond Fast Fusion digitally.
@AverageGamer OK, so then basically I don't have anything to talk about during the Switch 2 era based on the fact that what went from an option, to pretty much every 3rd party game is now a Game Key Card? Nah..... I'm sorry I bought my Switch 2 with the intention of getting games for it. If I'm interested in a game I should probably be able to discuss it, sadly if I'm not willing to pay full price for an empty card all I know about said game is that I don't own it. That's what I'll talk about. You do you.
@AverageGamer This is kinda the point, it's a pretty big deal for many reasons. People aren't so much talking about the game at this point because they are not able to purchase the game in a format they like. Ie.... Nintendo's dumb decisions are keeping people from the games they should be talking about. So instead I suppose we only have the fact that we aren't getting the game to talk about, which leads us back to why we are not getting the game. You could say Microsoft and Sony have done the same thing, hence why I stopped collecting on their systems and Nintendo became the last bastion of hope we would continue to get physical games. The fact that Nintendo said we would and they still use the cartridge slot at all kinda led many to believe they were still safe for another generation. We were not. Oh well, it was a fun ride at least.
I would agree that it's silly when people complain about people complaining about game key cards. The bottom line people like what they like for their own reasons. In the case of most games coming out on a GKC, it is a big deal because a lot of people purchased their switch 2's thinking they would be able to continue to purchase what they wanted... ie... physical media with games on them. In this case almost everything coming out is a download and that's it. You may like the color blue, I might not.... I don't chastise you for liking it so why would you chastise me for not liking it. I personally am a collector who loves not only playing games but collecting them as well. That's where I want to spend my money, and the fact that switch 2 barely has any games that are sold on cartridge really sucks. And I do believe it should be my choice if I wanted to collect empty pieces of plastic or not. It's basically the thing that has gotten me out of game collecting for roughly 5 decades. I think that's something worth complaining about, especially when Nintendo pushed GKC's as simply an option, now they are basically the rule.
Super Ghost N Goblins, one of my top three games of all time... you can never go wrong with this franchise. Should probably also point out that there is a Capcom retro collection on Humble Bundle right now that offers this and many many other Capcom games for a really nice price.
@HalBailman
"Who is whinging about key cards and still buying":
Books - Buy them all the time
CDs - No but I do buy records
PC boxed games - Gave up the PC a long time ago, one of the reasons being I love collecting physical games
video discs - I would buy them, but modern movies kinda suck. When a good one does come out I track down the 4K disc though.
Just wanted to give you an honest response. I also buy a ***** ton of board games because I like the physical medium it brings with it. Some people, probably on the older side of gaming, love physical media for many reasons.
@WheresWaveRace Right there with you, been around since pong and have collected systems ever since. With that said, I'm a physical collector all the way. Yes I have digital games, but only because I get them at very good deals or not at all. As you've stated I also have a home filled with a bit too much stuff, but I'm not sure I'd change a thing... just buy a bigger house I guess.
@WheresWaveRace I think you run into a problem when you have a lot of games and they are of a decent size. Example would be I have over 600 games on steam, there is no way on earth I'd be able to afford to have them all downloaded and on an SD card. And if the game needed the absolute fastest transfer speed it would need to be on internal memory, of which the Switch 2 has a very small amount compared to modern game sizes.
As a testament to how bad the Switch 2 launch has been in my eyes, I watched this direct which had a lot of stuff I would have used to care about, and came away meh.... Fire Emblem was there, but then Fire Emblem is one of the three series I'll buy no matter what.
I worked at a software etc. when this first came out. We had three of them set up in the back of the store to demo.... At least 50% of the time when someone would go back and try the virtual boy they would leave sick... a few even threw up in our store. So, every time someone would go back to play on them, myself and the other employee would cease our conversations to see what was going to happen next. Ahhh, the good ole days.
I have purchased 2 switch 2's at this point. I purchased them to play my Switch 1 games, ie.... it's a great switch pro. That said - Switch 1 library - Amazing Switch 2 library - irrelevant because it's released on a crap format Don't really care how many amazing games it could have if they are on a format I'm not interested in. At that point they might as well not exist at all. I currently own 1 "switch 2" game and that's Fast Fusion... I bought it because it was cheap, looked decent and I wanted to have at least one purchase in the Switch 2 generation. Actually, there are a handful of future games I'll purchase regardless of format, but that's a testament to the game alone. I'm very happy with my Switch 2, but the actual switch 2 games library is getting a solid F from me at this time. What a weird sentence as it's very true.
The Switch Two generation has been a cluster. Honestly Nintendo has turned me from a huge physical collector of Nintendo to literally I couldn't care less if they ever release another game. All of the good will they garnered from me during the last generation is gone and I'm considering just playing the collection I currently own and calling it quits.
I think this person is out of their mind. What a time to say Nintendo is in touch with it fanbase.... Pretty much everything they have done since the Switch 2 launch has been backwards, irritating or just plain meh... I think this person needs to think about what they are saying, as it is, Nintendo is the most out of touch it's been with its fanbase since the Wii-U.
Honest question, is it not really a racing game a la Mario Kart? My wife loves MK, I personally can't stand the rubber banding and extra nice gifts to the people not doing well. I feel like it's the "racing" game that consistantly makes second place the winner.
@TYRANACLES Hopefully you're non US as I've been waiting on the inevitable physical release here in the states, Play Asia has them as coming soon but nothing yet. I say this because I ordered a Ragebound from Clear River UK because they had been up for a good while with no US release showing... So I ordered one and then two days later they announced a US release... I'm too lazy/irritated to cancel and order the US one at this point.
@Blast16
12 NEOGEO games/collections are on sale right now starting at $4.79. One the them is the Samurai Showdown Collection $39 normally, for $9.99. Most of them are the NEOGEO Pocket games, but the SamSho, Windjammers are from reg. Neo with the SS collection being a very nice deal.
@Blast16 They actually go on sale quit a bit, I've picked up 16 or so and passed on many more. Normally when they go on sale they do like 5 or 6 at a time. Just mark them as favorite and you'll see them flagged when they are cheaper, usually $3.99. With that said, I've still picked up all 8 volumes so far, because NEOGEO.
Just getting ready to order this as an import, was hoping to see if it would get a US physical version or not? Have not seen it yet, but I'm sure I will shortly after I import it in.
@Liam_Doolan Yes, that's what I was asking as I have the Japanese editions 1-4 with 5+6 on the way, all have English. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something where they were actually having a US release as I don't think they ever will.
To the best f my knowledge there has not been an English release in this series. Either way I now have the first 6 volumes from importing them so I’ll be good
@Solid_Python You mean with this controller or the Switch2 console specifically? I know you can wake the Switch with many such as the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C.
Wish you would have provided a pic with the ball tops on. Having a hard time envisioning the size and overall look of it.....edit... never mind, I went to Amazon and looked at their pics.
@uncleMike And that is why the Switch 1 is my last console to collect for. We've seen it before in the comics industry, movie industry..... when at the height of their success they tend to implode... I was just hoping we'd get more time from the gaming industry via Nintendo.
@HalBailman well to be fair nothing has changed and it’s still stopping people who want to buy the games from doing so, so I guess it’s still an issue.
@Dee123 I want Nintendo to work triple overtime on a pathway to smaller/cheaper game cards for the Switch 2. That way companies will have better options. I want Nintendo to pull game key cards if that's not possible, that way companies on the fence will fall one way or the other, which means half will release a proper physical game. I want Nintendo so reduce their fee's to make the 64gb card as cheap as possible if that's all they can do. I want Nintendo to figure out a better solution than what they launched with. Those are a few of my thoughts on what I'd like Nintendo to do.
Well then, I'll more than likely not be purchasing this game at all. I'm a no go on Switch 2 key-card, 20% on a switch one purchase. Part of me says if they want to give me this ***** options I'll simply not purchase it at all. I'm ok with my Switch 2 just being the switch pro I never got.
I was right there for a purchase.... what's that... a game key card.. oh, alright then, I guess I'm out. Maybe I'll see you when you're on clearance if that ever happens.
@k8sMum Personal opinion, if you're leaving for the day and know you only have an hour or two of away playtime, you don't need to take a charger. Second, if you're throwing it in a bag to say take on vacation, you're not really worried about your charger getting ruined in said bag. It's to protect things like screens and joysticks of which chargers have non. That's how I use Switch cases at least.
@Burning_Spear Right there with you. Nintendo kinda forced a retirement from collecting. I have a backlog as well, and honestly since I decided I'm not going to collect like I did this last generation I've actually put a lot more time into playing the games I have. I mean, if I'm being honest I probably have enough non played games to last me until I'm dead, so yeah... Nintendo forced my hand and I'm good with that. Will save me a lot of money in the process.
If the framerate held up on the switch 1, I think I would prefer it. The current game being released on the switch 2 looks like a lot of AI procedurally generated landscape, as well as the effects are way over done to the point of being distracting in my opinion. It's like modern day fighting games were there's so many sparks of color flashing you can't actually see the people fight each other. Either way, I'll pick up the new game because I'm a sucker for DK, but I do think the graphics are a letdown... even more so since they said the framerate suffers in some parts as it is.
I bought the other Savage Raven grip (one piece) and it's pretty good. Yeah you would have to remove it to dock the Switch, but I'm mostly a hand held player anyway. It makes the system feel very very solid. Probably going to pick one up for my wife at some point.
@Skunkfish Battery Life Key Cards Game Prices Issue with HDMI, HDR, 120hz... on my main TV. Needs a grip case to make it "really comfortable". I bought a Savage Raven case which is good. It's light on its own, on the Switch 2 it actually feels heavier than my Steamdeck without a case, even though in actuality it's not. Not a real fan of left side 4 buttons, I fixed this on my other Switches by buying different joy cons, which are not out yet for the Switch 2. No Switch 2 games I really want at this point. And when they do release I only want to buy physical as that's my preferred medium.
All small things, even though as I stated I love it as Switch Pro. I like it enough that I've purchased 2 so far, albeit I bought the second for my wife to play along in games like Fantasy Life i.
At some point I wish developers would say "hey this is taking performance hits, maybe we should back off on the things causing the performance hits a little..." In this game maybe go from 7 million items flying everywhere to only 3.5 million... I don't see how that would effect how fun the game is. Hyperbole, yes... but the point is the same.
@OorWullie Agreed with this. I personally was very much looking forward to SF6 on the Switch 2... and then it was a key card, so I passed and will just continue to play it on the Xbox.
@Burning_Spear I agree, being a physical collector with a good sized collection of Switch 1 physical games, I'm pretty much out of collecting when it comes to Switch 2. My plan at this point is to have probably 20 or so Switch 2 games by the end of the generation, of which my Switch 1 collection is over 20 times that.

I bought the other Savage Raven grip (one piece) and it's pretty good. Yeah you would have to remove it to dock the Switch, but I'm mostly a hand held player anyway. It makes the system feel very very solid. Probably going to pick one up for my wife at some point.

Battery Life

Issue with HDMI, HDR, 120hz... on my main TV.
Needs a grip case to make it "really comfortable". I bought a Savage Raven case which is good. It's light on its own, on the Switch 2 it actually feels heavier than my Steamdeck without a case, even though in actuality it's not.
Not a real fan of left side 4 buttons, I fixed this on my other Switches by buying different joy cons, which are not out yet for the Switch 2.
No Switch 2 games I really want at this point. And when they do release I only want to buy physical as that's my preferred medium.
All small things, even though as I stated I love it as Switch Pro. I like it enough that I've purchased 2 so far, albeit I bought the second for my wife to play along in games like Fantasy Life i.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
At some point I wish developers would say "hey this is taking performance hits, maybe we should back off on the things causing the performance hits a little..." In this game maybe go from 7 million items flying everywhere to only 3.5 million... I don't see how that would effect how fun the game is. Hyperbole, yes... but the point is the same.
Re: Nintendo Is Seeking Player Feedback On Game-Key Cards In Japan
@Sindayl Exactly my thoughts including Bravely Default, I was all set to buy that and SF6, and then passed on them both.

@Dman10 Yes
Re: Nintendo Is Seeking Player Feedback On Game-Key Cards In Japan
@OorWullie Agreed with this. I personally was very much looking forward to SF6 on the Switch 2... and then it was a key card, so I passed and will just continue to play it on the Xbox.
Re: Nintendo Is Seeking Player Feedback On Game-Key Cards In Japan
@Burning_Spear I agree, being a physical collector with a good sized collection of Switch 1 physical games, I'm pretty much out of collecting when it comes to Switch 2. My plan at this point is to have probably 20 or so Switch 2 games by the end of the generation, of which my Switch 1 collection is over 20 times that.
